Counseling & Therapy Philosophies

My Counseling Philosophy

Healing happens one step at a time. As people engage with others, in a safe environment, they are able to build relationships of trust. Eventually, these connections lead to authenticity, and this becomes the launching point for healing and growth. No matter what a person’s history may include, the unconditional care in a counseling relationship, along with useful tools and professional techniques, can help create a path of hope and wholeness.

 

Therapy Values

  • The focus will be on you. “What is on your mind, and why are you seeking counseling?” This is where we will start. Your needs and goals will be the focus of our time together.

  • We both contribute to the process. Your presence and intentionality throughout counseling will make a significant difference, because the saying, “the more you put into it, the more you get out of it”, holds a lot of truth!

  • Willingness to be vulnerable and authentic. Together we will venture toward those places in your life that have been challenging, we will look at them, recognize the pain they have caused, and then we will use resources and techniques to help navigate through them.
